It would *seem* that a 'filtered' search against fulltext would be as simple as

select si_page,si_title from searchindex where match (si_text) against ('categ*' in boolean mode) order by si_title

Where we are returning all pageIds and pageTitles from the searchIndex using the search work 'cate*' (all words starting with 'cate').

So if I simply create a special page which passes to the db this form, shouldn't this then return all the items?

Am I on the right track?

May not be the first and wasn't the last to ask about this <G>

It seems from robs reply to "Couple of Mediawiki questions" that the answer to this is no.

Is there anyone working on this as an extension?

Thanks

I see from the help article http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Searching that the search does and automatic AND on all words in the search edit box. Is there a way to force and OR or possibly use wildcards?

I have done some searching and have not found anything but find it odd that I would be the first one asking about this.

Ideas?

Thanks
